I just found a really well maintained Ranger 518 vx with a merc 200 EFI on a single axel trailer.
Very basic electronics and trolling motor. The owner could not give me the hours and does not have a compression report but is willing to have it checked out.
Is this the same hull as the 2003? and the 2004-2007 519vx?
Priced at $13,000
Upgrade Electronics with 2 used 9" GPS units ($1500)
Upgrade Trolling motor with used Ultrex or XI5 (1000)
New Batteries ($500)
Two new tires (200)
All in with what I want on the boat $16200 . Do you guys think that’s a pretty good deal or keep looking
